[STEP TWO] Allow this to dry for a few hours and then paint one of the corners blue.

[STEP THREE] Add several red stripes to the picture frame.

[STEP FOUR] Paint several white stars on the blue corner.

[STEP FIVE] Sand the edges and the flag to give it a vintage look.

This was a very simple project. I am a terrible painter (as you can see in the oh so straight lines!) - this was my first attempt trying to make art with paint. I think the imperfections make it unique and it would look too harsh being perfect - At least I'll keep telling myself that!

Breakdown in cost

Frame: $2.99 (on sale!!!)

Paint: already had but they run around $2/a pop
Brushes: already had

I spent a total of $2.99 + tax for this project. It has the same impact as the one I saw for $58+shipping.

Yes to another inexpensive accessory!

I love it!!! I have started on my patriotic crafts for upcoming holidays but also for my hubby's promotion dinner/party. He is in the Navy. A frame like this would be the perfect addition. This room is going to be so good! Can't wait to see it all together.ladeedacreations.com
